Platelet-Rich Plasma & Fibrin (PRP / PRF)

Platelet-rich plasma and fibrin use a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate its platelets and growth factors, which is then injected to stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation. Because it is autologous — derived entirely from you — it is well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality. The clinic offers PRP, the slower-release PRF, or a combination, and a short course gives the most noticeable results.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are regenerative treatments that harness your own blood's healing components. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that signal tissue repair and collagen production. PRP is the liquid plasma fraction; PRF is a denser preparation that forms a fibrin matrix and releases its growth factors more slowly, and the two can be combined. The concentrate is injected into the skin to rejuvenate tone, texture and firmness. At P & P Beauty Clinic the process — blood draw, preparation and treatment — takes around forty-five to sixty minutes, with numbing cream applied for comfort. Because the material is entirely your own, there is no risk of allergy to a foreign substance, which makes PRP and PRF popular with patients who prefer a natural approach. Expect mild redness or small bruises for a day or two. Results build gradually as collagen remodels over several weeks, so a course of around three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance once or twice a year. The treatments are well suited to dull or tired skin, fine lines and overall skin quality, and can also be used to support the scalp. Suitability is assessed beforehand; they are not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
